Call for applications to Scholarship in MSc Programs in Critical Embedded Systems for academic year 2015-2016

The EADS Foundation Chair on Embedded Critical Systems (CESEC) offers scholarships for masters degrees to French and oversea students for the academic year 2015-2016. This is a call for applications to this scholarship. The masters degrees are offered by the following engineering schools in Toulouse : ISAE, INSA de Toulouse and INP-ENSEEIHT. The masters programs supported are in the field of Embedded Critical Systems. These are the following programs :

Candidates are selected jointly by EADS Foundation, industrial partners and the three engineering schools (ISAE, INSA and INP-ENSEEIHT). For the 2015/2016 academic year, 4 scholarships will be awarded :

Only candidates that have applied (or are already admitted or registered) to one the above master’s program (EMS, AESS, ESECA) can apply for the scholarship (see "Selection Criteria and Procedures" below). There are no particular requirements for nationality, only the ones required by the masters programs. Candidates cannot benefit simultaneously (at a same academic year) from the CESEC scholarship in addition to another scholarship (e.g. from French government or from another company). Candidates must have no links with a private enterprise upon their arrival in France. Candidates must follow the full master program (1 year for Advanced Master EMS and 2 years for the Master of Science AESS and ESECA).Successful CESEC candidates are required to complete the selected program in Critical Embedded Systems (EMS, AESS, ESECA) at one of the partner engineering school entirely or mainly in France.

Remark : The candidates of Masters of Science program starting in M1 level must follow in M2 the major in the field of Critical Embedded Systems, otherwise the candidate looses his/her scholarship and must pay for the previous months received.

The final selection of CESEC beneficiaries is made in France by a selection committee composed of representatives from the partners (school engineering, industries and EADS Fondation).The following criteria are taken into account for the final selection : Excellence of the candidate, as reflected by his/her prior university experience, the candidate’s career goals, admission on one of the three masters programs in Critical Embedded Systems (EMS, AESS, ESECA) at a partner school above (ISAE, INSA and INP-ENSEEIHT).

Each partner master program proposes a classification of their selected students candidates to the CESEC scholarship. The selection committee draws up a final list of the candidates chosen. Students are then required to ensure that they have been formally enrolled at one of the masters programs in Critical Embedded Systems (EMS, AESS, ESECA) at a CESEC partner school (ISAE, INSA and INP-ENSEEIHT).

The selection committee’s proceedings are not made public, its decisions are final and no reasons shall be given for the decisions made.

Beneficiaries of the CESEC scholarship receive personalized support from a CESEC mentor, along with advice and help in finding internships and exploring cultural activities.CESEC beneficiaries may also be eligible for accommodation support.

Applicants must include the following with their online application form : a curriculum vitae in English (maximum of 2 pages), a statement of your career plans in the field of Critical Embedded Systems,

No proof of application (or admission) is necessary. The selection committee will contact directly the CESEC partner program chosen by the candidate (EMS, AESS, ESECA) to check that the application (or admission) has been confirmed.

Publication of Successful Applications The candidate will be notified by electronic mail and mail.
